Material test results

Test #1 to #3 acceleration recordings

There are three different sensor models located at the center of the floor slab on each floor. Two of these (LAM02 and ADXL355) had internal Bessel filters with 5 db at 30 Hz, while TA25E is unfiltered. Acceleration readings are only applied in the direction of excitation. Data sampling rate is 100 Hz and units are in cm/s/s. Left-most column is shake-table reading, followed by 2nd floor, 3rd floor, and roof.

Test #4 and #5 shake table acceleration recording

As previously stated, contestants are to predict the response of the building subjected to Test #4 and #5. As such, only the shake table acceleration recording is provided. Furthermore, since TA25E is the only sensor to have the same timestamp as the displacement response sensors, only the TA25E recording is provided here. Acceleration readings are only applied in the direction of excitation. Data sampling rate is 100 Hz and units are in cm/s/s.

​

Note - if you had time-shifted the recordings for analysis purposes, make sure to correct this when submitting your results or this will affect the error calculation!
